Picasso dijo que el arte era una mentira que nos hace darnos cuenta de la verdad, y que el arte abstracto, o sea, la abstracción, no existe ya que todo parte de algo para llegar a otra cosa y que como siempre se parte de la realidad, la abstracción no puede existir. Pero… Aunque valoro mucho a Picasso, el genio, el artista, pintor, escultor, innovador etcetera, no valoro tanto su discurso. Picasso, cuando hablaba, lo hacia pensando en sonar como un artista y decía cosas que un artista debería decir. Eso es filosofar sobre el arte y las filosofías las acepta uno o no, no son leyes inmutables. La verdad es que el arte abstracto si existe, y es más, tuvo…y tiene…más éxito que el cubismo o que casi todos los ismos, (las vanguardias del Siglo XX), porque sigue vigente y creciendo, no solo en la pintura pero en la escultura y la fotografía también. La abstracción es una manera de expresar utilizando el lenguaje de los colores y las formas geométricas y asi, sin rasgos de figuración, transmitir una idea, una emoción (o varias) y un sentimiento.
Aqui os dejo algunas de mis abstracciones en pintura y en fotografía…

Picasso said that art was a lie that makes us realize the truth, and that abstract art does not exist since everything starts from one thing to reach another one and that, as always, it all departs from reality, thus an abstraction cannot exist. But… Although I consider Picasso a genius, a great artist, painter, sculptor, innovator, etc., I do not value his discourse on the same level. Picasso, when he spoke, did so thinking about sounding like an artist and said things that an artist should say. That is philosophizing about art, and one either accepts philosophies or not; they are not immutable laws. The truth is that abstract art does exist, and moreover, it had… and has… more success than cubism or almost all isms (the vanguards of the 20th century) because it remains relevant and growing, not only in painting but also in sculpture and photography. Abstract art is a way of expressing using the language of colours and geometric shapes, and thus, without figurative traits, convey an idea, an emotion (or several) and a feeling.
Here are a few of my abstract artworks both as paintings and as photographs…

GRACIAS – CHEERS
The possible meaning of some abstract is easier to extract in some art than others. Nice share, Francisco.

True, the reference, for the artist, is in his head, and hidden within the abstraction, the meaning/message, is in the head of the observer, or not… Thank you Pat!

Exactly, Francisco. The two may not agree on what the message/meaning is and in some cases the observer can not come up with one.

True, and at times even the original reference, in the artist’s head, is forgotten by the artist… We must conclude that the principal most important aspect of abstract art is its decorative function. No?
